The first week of October is set aside for the Week of Respect statewide. Union Hill Middle School decided this year to "Be A Star" as their theme. This year the school's class discussions during advisory period centered on the topic. The students created anti-bullying posters, pledges and had great fun decorating their homeroom doors.
UHMS was also visited by OMEGAMAN, who shared his story of being bullied as a child. He recounted how he turned this negative experience and developed a strong confidence in himself. He now shares what he's learned with students so they can be strong like him.
